Austin Peay State University's Concert Hall is featured by The Robb Report as one
of the top 10 “premiere concert halls” in the nation.

APSU's Concert Hall, located in the Music/Mass Communication Building, is included
in the article, “Superior Sights & Sounds,” published in the March/April 2006 edition
of The Robb Report Home Entertainment Magazine.

The introduction to the article says, “We traveled the nation in search of the premiere
concert hallswhere aesthetics and acoustics are in complete harmony.”

According to the article: “Austin Peay State University's Concert Hall is a multipurpose
venue for music, theater, dance and opera, so the challenge was to achieve a harmonious
balance between the competing demands of orchestral music and the spoken word.”

The cutline accompanying the photo of the APSU Concert Hall says, “At Austin Peay
State University, nearly every seat in the house is tops, and nearly every performance
is free.”

The article cites many of the unique acoustical details of the APSU Concert Hall that
make it, according to The Robb Report, one of the top 10 in the nation.

David Kahn of Artec Consultants Inc., New York City, served as the acoustical designer
for APSU's Concert Hall, working with Clark and Associates Architects, Clarksville.

APSU President Sherry Hoppe said, “On its Web site, The Robb Report says it is ‘dedicated
to providing relevant information and news to purveyors of luxury goods and to those
people and entities that have the desire and financial means to purchase, maintain
and enjoy the finest things in life.'

“We're delighted that Austin Peay's Concert Hall was selected for inclusion in this
prestigious magazine. To be rated alongside Carnegie Hall is to reach the pinnacle.
For our students, faculty and community, The Robb Report article validates what we
already believed.”
